Chapter 151: Rescue Shiyud
Edward decided to go to Idoras with Iomo. The Rokhanate is an important member www.biquge.info of the two great human kingdoms in the south, and now Saruman has rebelled, gathering an army of orcs to eyeing the south, and if there is no resistance from the Rokhanate, then their army will drive straight in, conquer the Rohan and oppress Gondor at the same time.
If this happens, then even if the Demon Hunter Knights participate in the battle, they will not be able to return to the sky.
The Rohan must join the fight against evil!
Edward and Iomo went to Idoras, while the other three searched for Merry and Pippin, and then rendezvous at Idoras. Edward believed that with the abilities of the three and Sorey, as long as they did not run into a large army of orcs, there would be no danger.
Iomo was very curious about Edward, and he chatted with him all the way, listening to him talk about the Battle of the Five Armies and the Battle of the Fortress. Iomo is also one of the better members of the Knights, and his honest faith has given him a powerful power of holy light, and he knows that the holy light can slow down the aging of paladins, but it is definitely impossible to live as immortalized as the legend says.
The legendary Edward was a young man of about twenty years old, and after forty years, his appearance still did not change. While Io Mo was surprised, he could only explain that the other party's holy light was much stronger than his own.
Edward did not go into the nitty-gritty of the subject, and instead asked about the Rohan Kingdom and his sister Iowwen.
"Eowen is four years younger than me, but her Light power is on par with mine. "When we returned to Rohan from the Demon Hunter Fortress, we didn't see Your Majesty, and we had to ask about Him from the people. ”
"The situation is not good for us. I don't know when His Majesty began to age rapidly, and he became indifferent to state affairs, and rarely appeared in front of the people. ”
"Grima, who at first glance was not a good thing, became the tongue of His Majesty, and he was now almost equal to the regent of Gondor, and he had no mercy on the people. ”
"In order to see Your Majesty, ask why. With the help of Prince Shiyud, Iowwen and I finally met Your Majesty. ”
"When we saw His Majesty from afar, I could not believe that it was still the same king who had been very authoritative, resolute, and charismatic! He had become very old and gloomy, his eyes seemed to be blindfolded with a layer of gray, and he spoke feebly, and did not care about anything. I swear by the light that I feel in His Majesty an evil force that surrounds him and clouds his mind and sight. ”
"Iowen wanted to speak to His Majesty, but was stopped by the guards. Then that bastard of Grima imprisoned my sister on trumped-up charges and banished the paladins I had brought with me for treason. ”
Speaking of this, Iomo's face was gloomy, and he kept cursing Grimma in his mouth.
"Fortunately, not everyone in Idoras could not see the truth, and many cavalry followed us out, preferring to fight the orcs ravaging the Rokhanate without supplies than to stay in that smoky place. ”
Edward had been listening to him, and by the time Iomo had finished, he realized the seriousness of the problem.
"In other words, the only people who can see the situation in the Rohan Kingdom are you and your sister, and Prince Hiyod?" said Edward, "then as the heir to the throne and the one who knows the truth, Prince Hiyud is in danger." ”
Iomo suddenly became anxious. He has a good relationship with Prince Shiyud, and if the latter is not the heir to the throne, he may go to the Demon Hunter's Fortress with Iomo to study.
Anticipating this crisis, Edward and Iomo led the paladins to their horses, finally entering West Rohan a few days later.
No sooner had they entered the area than the Knights encountered an enemy army on the hills. This enemy army consisted mainly of orcs and denlanders, who rode wolves and surrounded a group of Rohan cavalry in the middle, constantly attacking. A large number of horses and knights had fallen to the ground at this time, and the situation was in danger.
"That's Prince Hiyud's Second Hussar Regiment!" Iomo shouted angrily at the sight of the banner of the cavalry regiment that had not yet fallen.
Cavalry regiments were very mobile in the hills and steppes and were generally not surrounded. There was only one reason for this - they were betrayed and entered into an ambush circle of orcs.
"Follow me to rescue His Royal Highness!Third Hussar Regiment!Charge!" As a paladin and the third hussar marshal of the Rohan Kingdom, Iomo immediately issued an order, and a large number of cavalry shouted the slogan of killing the enemy, and in the sound of passionate horns, the commander who followed them rushed towards the orc army.
Edward did not take command of the team, he followed Iomo, holding the star high, the holy light shining all over his body, and the aura of holy courage enveloped the entire team.
The knights who were shrouded in the aura of Holy Destiny Courage all felt that they were full of strength and courage, and even in front of a powerful presence in front of them, it would not make them fearful.
The prince of the Rohan kingdom, Hiyud, was now in despair, and after his cavalry regiment entered the ambush circle, he had a premonition that it would be difficult for him to leave alive. Their Second Hussar Regiment was on a very secretive route, and it was impossible for them to be ambushed by orcs and denlanders, with the only explanation being the presence of traitors in their Rohan kingdom.
Xiyud immediately remembered the disgusting Grimma, but now that he was under siege, he couldn't do anything to the other party.
It was at this moment that Hiyud heard the sound of a trumpet that shook his spirits, the sound of the Rohan Charge Horn. Then, after being surrounded by heavy surrounding, he saw a holy light rising into the sky.
Hearing the sound of this trumpet, the remaining knights were also greatly excited, and without the command of Siyud, they collectively approached him, and used their bodies to protect the hope of the Rohanate.
"Warriors, hold on! General Iomo has come to our rescue!" Hyud raised the last of his strength, picked up his sword and shield, and began to slash hard.
There was confusion in the ranks of the Orcs and the Denlanders, and in the face of the charge of the cavalry of the brigades, especially the heavy cavalry, they were outnumbered and could not escape death! Most of the Orcs rode wolves, but the Denlanders were almost all infantry.
These Denlanders were the first to begin to rout, even though they knew that it would be difficult to escape the cavalry, and they only hoped that the heavy cavalry would ignore them for the sake of the strong orcs in the ranks.
The leader of the orcs shouted a few times, but he still couldn't stop the denlanders from escaping, he glanced at the prince of Rohan at the end of the crossbow, and decided to take this prince on his back even if he died.
As a result, there was a strange scene on the battlefield, the Denlanders threw down all the equipment they could to reduce their weight and fled for their lives, while the orc cavalry stayed behind and launched a final assault on the remnants of the encirclement with all their might.
Before Iome's cavalry regiment engaged the strong orcs, the overwhelming flying spears flew to the enemy's periphery, and many strong orcs died under these flying spears in an instant.
"Your Highness Xiyud! hold on!" Iomme took the lead, fearing for the safety of his old friend, and urged his horse to rush into the ambush circle of the strong orcs, carrying a spear of strong holy light to repel many orcs with a single sweep.
Edward followed, waving the star with a solemn face. Unlike Iomo, Edward's star shines with holy light, and its strong swing power can also bring up a wave of sword energy. Although Starlight's length is not as long as that of the spear, its attack range is no worse than that of the spear.
The breakthrough of the two created a vacuum in the army of strong orcs, and the strong orcs who dared to approach them could only die on the spot.
"Iomo, I'm fine, don't go alone!" Hyud apparently heard Iomo's shouts in the midst of the chaos, and he responded with a tired shout, but apparently unharmed.
"It's Edward Heavysword! Shouldn't we retreat? Our plan has failed!" a strong orc suggested to the leader as soon as he saw the iconic heavy sword.
"Damn, how could he be here!" the leader of the orcs looked at Edward at the rear of the group, then at the cavalry army charging behind him, and reluctantly ordered his men to issue a call to retreat.
But before leaving, the leader of the orcs shot an arrow with his bow, and this arrow leaped through the obstacles and fired at the relaxed Hillud with precision!
